Replying to Avatar Terry Yiu

Manipulating the entire meaning of an author’s post without the author’s or reader’s consent is a form of censorship to me.

Yeah, but it isn't. Censorship prohibits free speech. Adding information is manipulative, persuasive, maybe even intimidating. But it's not censorship. Be careful not to become the child crying wolf.

We have different definitions and are debating the semantics. We’ll just agree to disagree.

Yes, but definitions matter. Bcashers had a different definition of "cash".

Either way, you're right to point it out. It's not censorship, though. At least not in my book.

I think it is important to be precise and less dramatic about things.

Personally, I would classify the misrepresentation of signed content as forgery... so, worse than censorship.

Fair enough. One could very well see it this way.
